Turku – the congress city

Turku, in the Southwest corner of Finland, is the oldest city and the first capital of the country. Today it is the capital of its region, Southwest Finland. Turku is often said to be the only West European town in Finland as all medieval European towns have four things in common: a river for transport, a cathedral for religious power, a castle that represents the secular power and last but not least – a marketplace for acts of commerce. Turku has them all! Please visit the Visit Turku website for more information.

Conference Venue

The conference will be held at Radisson Blu Marina Palace Hotel. Radisson Blue Marina Palace Hotel is an iconic event venue located by the beautiful Aurajoki river in the heart of Turku.

Radisson Blu’s Experience Meetings program is recognized by the Green Meeting Industry Council as a leader in sustainable meetings.

Combine culture and outdoor recreation!

Cultural exercise routes located around the Aura river are a refreshing combination of culture and exercise. Take your time and explore Turku and its love stories, statues and urban legends. You can walk, run or cycle, the choice is yours.

The routes are not marked so you will need a map with you. You can get the route maps from the city library or the Tourist info or you can print them from specific route sites (see links). You can also download the free Citynomadi mobile app and get the maps from the app.

The City Bikes provide a quick and easy way of getting around Turku

The city bike-share system in Turku consists of bikes that are for public use and which can be picked up and dropped off at bike stations. The “Föli-fillarit” city bikes are meant mainly for short-term use. The bikes will be available all year round and in winter they are equipped with winter tyres.

The city bike-share system is a part of Föli Turku Region Traffic. You’ll find more information here.
